Practice Gaps and Needs

There is a knowledge gap among cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and internists regarding patient eligibility criteria, devices, procedures, outcomes and follow-up recommendations pertaining to transcatheter and structural heart interventions. For example, transcatheter aortic valve replacement for symptomatic, severe aortic valve stenosis is now the national standard of care for patients who are considered intermediate or high risk for surgical valve replacement. In addition, transcatheter mitral valve therapy is a relatively new approach to the treatment of patients who are high risk for surgical mitral valve repair or replacement. Indications, methods, and outcomes for these procedures will be reviewed by experts in the field.
